The status of the City Cape Towns Table mountain as a Natural World Heritage Site may in jeopardy because of increasing attacks.

Apparently steps are being taken to manage the problem. You are advised to walk in large groups, rather pointless advice since muggers in South Africa normally have more arsenal than our police. Gone are the days where you were bullied out of your valuables. These guys have it all from the standard issue must have AK47 ,to handguns and knives which could skin a elephant in one swing.

S o be advised the less valuables you have on you the greater your chances of surviving that must do tourist hike or trail, and under no circumstances deviate from the foot path.

Mountain dress code- Single garment, ideally costume( not designer label ladies)
